Well I have the 05 Ford F-350 V-10 and use it to pull a well loaded 06 3400. This is NOT a Diesel vs Gasser discussion. This winter we pulled it about 6500 miles on all kinds of roads in varing conditions from just about sea level to @ 8000 feet. Level roads, gently rolling hills to 9 1/2 % grades. It pulled the 3400 without complaint in all conditions. Our MPG was better in the SW for whatever reason averaging better than 10MPG towing, 14 to 15 (highway) not towing, Now we got like 5mpg on the 9 1/2 % grade and 14MPG on some very level highway in N.M.Here in the mid west we average 7 to 8.5 MPG towing. We are very satisfied with our V-10 and I will confess it has performed better than we expected.I will also admit that IF we get another truck it will be a Diesel because our usage has changed,, However if we decide to keep the V-10 we will be completly satisfied.
